The Bairnkine Team are trying hard to keep cool!

8 July 2026

Well, we are all a little too warm this week. Even the dogs needed to cool off after moving sheep. We have been busy on sheepwork this week so are starting early before it gets too hot.

We even had guests staying at Owl Cottage this week that were delighted to be in Scotland where it was about 10 degrees cooler than their home in Suffolk.

It’s great seeing our guests sitting out enjoying the sun in the CL Site, taking a walk on the farm and enjoying the views or just catching up with us for a chat. Watch out for wet dog though!

Hands on Oatcake Making

Our oatcake-making experience has been going really well. It’s proving to be a lovely way to share a little bit of our local food traditions and give guests the chance to get hands-on, using local ingredients and make their own oatcakes. There is even a chance at the end to enjoy a taster.
